Contextual Overview

4 Then, indeed, the ones who being scattered passed through, preaching the gospel, the Word. 5 And going down to a city of Samaria, Philip proclaimed Christ to them. 6 And with one passion the crowds heeded that being said by Philip when they heard and saw the many miraculous signs which he did. 7 For many of the ones having unclean spirits, crying with a loud voice, they came out. And many who had been paralyzed and lame were healed. 8 And great joy was in that city. 9 But a certain man named Simon had long been conjuring in the city and amazing the nation of Samaria, claiming himself to be some great one. 10 All were paying attention to him , from small to great, saying, This one is the power of God, which is great. 11 And they were paying attention to him because for a long time he had amazed them with his conjuring. 12 But when they believed Philip preaching the gospel, the things concerning the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women. 13 And Simon himself also believed, and being baptized was continuing steadfastly with Philip. And seeing miraculous signs and mighty works happening, he was amazed.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And the people with one accord,.... The inhabitants of the city of Samaria, as one man, came to hear the word:

and gave heed to those things which Philip spake; they listened to them, took notice of them, gave their ascent to them, believed and embraced them; being induced thereunto, not only upon the evidence by which these things came, but by reason of the miracles which he wrought, for the confirmation of them: for it follows,

hearing and seeing the miracles which he did; and which are particularly mentioned in the next verse.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

With one accord - Unitedly, or with one mined. Great multitudes of them did it.

Gave heed - Paid attention to; embraced.

Hearing - Hearing what he said.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Acts 8:6. The people with one accord gave heed — He had fixed their attention, not only with the gravity and importance of the matter of his preaching, but also by the miracles which he did.
